The biggest thing that has helped is a "safe place" within the classroom. It is for any student to use, but mostly just mine uses it. There is a bean bag in the spot that he can push himself into, and so he can escape anything bugging him. He also has a wiggle seat to sit on so that he can get movement without getting out of his chair.
We also do the solid home routine before school along with reading his social story. He has good and bad days, but is starting to have more good days.
Hope these suggestion help.
Good luck in finding thing that work!

My son does have SPD (newly diagnosed this las august). He has an already exisiting IEP from a previous Autism DX that he does not fit now.
He has a wiggle seat provided by the OT at his school, that stays in his class. I also have purchased one for home through therapro.com. He does not use the one at home much (just for homework).
We are at a public school, after much thought about our options. I would suggest to request a meeting with the school's resource teacher or administrator to talk about your concerns if the teacher is not able to help.
Good Luck!
